Set-top productions

Coronation Street goes on Google Street View

Corrie goes on Google Street View

 Coronation Street is to become the first fictional location to appear on Google Street View.

The soap's producers have invited one of the site's camera cars to drive down the famous cobbles and take pictures of the set.

Fans will be able to explore the street virtually and take in well-known landmarks such as the Rovers Return, the hairdresser's and Rita's paper shop, The Kabin.

An ITV spokesman said: "Thanks to Street View, fans will be able to have a good nose around the set in a way that would have been unimaginable almost 50 years ago when the show first aired."
